[color=limegreen][b]Location:[/b] Forest outside Bellbrooke - Bearing Lake - Church
[b]Interacting with:[/b] Falling Down [@Crosswire][/color][/center][hr]The girl still stayed none the wiser as he followed her, a smile playing on his lips as he figured this one out. It was quite fun to watch the young girl explore by herself. She looked like she knew the terrain well enough - so Flash deduced that she actually [i]has[/i] escaped before and [i]has[/i] traversed through this same forest at least once. But this was not the time to admire her bravery, or stupidity, as he was here on a job. Job or no, however, he needed to know where she was headed in the off chance that he was interested in sacking the place, or something similar to that action.

He was tempted to go to her and hand her a pair of extra gloves as the conditions were quite extreme. She had a weapon, yes, but that would be useful if she could use it thanks to her numbed hands. But he stayed his hand and watched as she made cloth grips on her pipe. Good enough, he supposed. He followed the trail of destruction that Falling Down made in her wake - branches now lay on the ground or broken on their trunks. Shame, she could get away much more easier if she covered up her tracks better. But it didn't seem like she was thinking that someone actually might be following her.

After some time of walking, he saw the edge of the forest and Falling Down there. This was Bearing Lake, was it not? Hm, now what would she be doing here. Certainly, she wouldn't be attempting to retrieve treasure from the dangerous lake - for one, she didn't have any cutting tools with her. This place was deemed to dangerous by most to visit and hunt treasure at. Flash himself wasn't foolish enough to go here by himself, but he never found anyone who was willing to come with him.

Once she was heading towards the church, he emerged from the forest. There was no cover here, but it didn't look like she was on the lookout for people... or people following her. Flash slowly followed her once more but now knew where she was headed. He spotted the run-down church off to the woods.

Interesting, he's never heard of this place before. It would seem the adventuring spirit in Falling Down was more useful than he originally thought. No one has talked about it before, imagine what sort of secrets it has within. 

Carefully maneuvering himself through the dried rambles, making the occassional snap to get through without harming his clothing, and then he cleared the stone fence as well. He landed just as she began trying to open the door, masking his landing with the jiggling of the door. She seemed intent on having that door opened, and he was looking forward to what it had in store. But with his close proximity, it would be better to help than to keep himself hidden.

Clearing his throat, he began speaking. [color=limegreen][b]"I am inclined to advise you to not do that. With your pipe's condition, I'm afraid that it would break or not do the job."[/b][/color] He paused for her reaction but didn't wait for very long as he continued forward. Indeed, the door was locked from the inside - or at least, it would be very difficult to open. They could just hack it to pieces, but that would decrease the sharpness of his sword and he wasn't too keen on that. He could blow it up...

Oh wait.

He could blow it up.

[color=limegreen][b]"Stand aside and stay clear. You wouldn't want yourself to get hurt, would you?"[/b][/color] He gestured to his back as he reached for his pocket and then took out a bit of electrum. Just a small amount, just enough to blow this door up. The church was dilapidated, yes, but it shouldn't go down with only a small force applied to it. Whether or not Falling Down followed his instructions, he began.

He made a series of movements, all precise and timed - green eyes focused on the closed door before them. Electricity began crackling around his hands as he moved. He then pointed his palm at the door and a surge of electricity poured forward. Instead of merely electrocuting what was there, though, there was quite an explosion. It should be enough to fling the doors forward, but not enough to take them off their hinges - unless it was weathered so much that it would fail to withstand such a force.

A grin spread to his face as he watched the explosion. It was small in size, definitely not as big as he would have wanted, but it would have shaken the structure of the church if it was really in bad conditions. But it was enough to make him giddy. Ooh, he hoped he could do so much more. Alas, he could only do this right now or risk exposing himself to this girl. While it wouldn't be of too much consequence, seeing as he was willing to accompany her now, he didn't want anyone to know. Never, if he wanted to continue his job at the Guard.

Nevertheless, he dusted off his hands and then looked towards the teen. [color=limegreen][b]"After you."[/b][/color]
